Side A: Babylon
Side B: Jenny Drinks

LYRICS
rebel against the kings of babylon
they got their swords & their spears & their bows & their knives
we’re fighting with our brothers and our sisters for our lives
rebel against the kings of babylon
God made man, and man made kings
and the kings rule men and they bring the suffering
when the people rise up they see it as defiant
they wanna have control so you can’t be self – reliant
if you play your role and don’t get out of line
if you sell your soul they will buy it for a dime
and sell it for a dollar so they can turn a profit
it’s a vicious cycle and the only way to stop it:
rebel against the kings of babylon
they run the drugs so they make all the money
that they’re busy printin’ up like a bee makin’ honey
they hide in the shadows, call themselves enlightened
while all the people’s shackles are slowly getting tightened
if we’re not locked up we’re starving in the streets
full bellies getting’ fat while the weak are getting weaker
politicians out to line their pockets
it’s a vicious cycle and the only way to stop it:
conquer the system of control
violent and tyrannical
it’s a radical overthrow
it’ll happen again like it’s happened before

LYRICS
Jenny drinks everything and the kitchen sink
until she’s all messed up and she can barely
think
jenny cries, and then she sighs her final
goodbyes
doesn’t wipe the teardrops from her eye ‘cause
she’s on the brink
she said, “the world just ain’t ready for a
spirit like me
i’ve never been so frustrated with humanity
and I suppose that i’m the one who seems crazy
but the world just ain’t ready for a spirit like me”
jenny smokes until she chokes and she’s flat broke
and her lungs are all caked up with a flat black coat
jenny laughs, but she’ll fight back to show her pack
that her kindness ain’t no weakness and she’ll react
genuine, she’ll invite you in for a Jameson
she’s a saint although ya know she likes to sin
she don’t budge, and she don’t judge she’s full of love
at the very least she’s always interesting

I just discovered this band, and I am in complete awe! This is a hybrid of Distillers, Rancid, and Joan Jett...3 of my top favorite bands. I am beyond impressed... The Interrupters are my new favorite band!!

These guys are a really good live band. Her voice has that Joan Jett sort of attitude. Yes, it's musically a punk-ska band, but if you see them live their energy is infectious. In Birmingham, AL, in front of a crowd that knew nothing of them, within a few songs they had the entire audience singing back the lyrics, doing extended vocal choruses to let the crowd learn the words and chant them back. They were almost as enjoyable to watch as the band they opened for, the Dropkick Murphys. Almost, that is. ;)
